Jesus as the Christ, Pt.1 | Christmas Eve AM | Pastor Paul

Sermon: Jesus as the Christ, Pt. 1
Series: Advent 2023
Scripture: Luke 2:11
Teacher: Rev. Paul Lawler

In this special sermon taken from our Christmas Eve morning service, Pastor Paul Lawler examines the significance of the title "Christ" in relation to Jesus. He explores Luke 2:11, which declares, "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the LORD."

In his sermon last year, Pastor Paul discussed the term "Savior," and this year, we shift our focus to the word "Christ" and its incredible implications. Is this designation significant, and if so, how much does it truly matter? As we celebrate Christmas and the birth of our Savior, take a moment to reflect on the profound meaning behind the title "Christ" and its impact on your faith journey. 

Throughout the New Testament, the term "Christ" is used a staggering 569 times, with 65 appearances in the Apostle Paul's letter to the church in Rome. But what's even more remarkable is that this title was foretold in the Old Testament, written hundreds to thousands of years before Jesus's birth.
